Lauvdal is a village in the municipality of Bygland in Aust-Agder county, Norway. It's located along the Norwegian National Road 9 on the east side of Byglandsfjorden. The village lies about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) south of the village of Bygland and about the same distance north of the village of Longerak. The population (2001) was 41 residents.[2] The lake Longerakvatnet is located about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) southeast of the village.

The area has yielded numerous historical artifacts, including a silver-tipped spear now exhibited at a museum in Oslo. Lauvdal was once known for substantial cow and pig farming, but today features only two farms.
